Hye Rim Lee

Hye Rim Lee is a New York-based Korean-New Zealand artist. Lee's 3D animations question new technology’s role in image making and representation. Since 2001 she has developed and evolved her animated character TOKI, as part of her ongoing TOKI/Cyborg Project. Her work is ambitious, expansive and conceptually and technically honed; each new project surpasses the previous genesis of TOKI.

"My work deals specifically with cyber feminism and female identity, and it makes sense that my work is seen as part these evolving contemporary ideas, rather than traditional terms like Feminism"
